Default Coolest car you'v persoanlly owned to date.

edit: please excuse the crappy grammar in the thread title.


I literally stole this out of a field and got it running before I contacted the owner to convince him to let me have it. It is a 1969 Citroen ID21F Familia Wagen.(with a '75 MGMidget in the background, '37 GMT and a '72 Mercedes 250S in the garage with the '66 Yamaha MG1T Omaha Trail bike.)

Thumbs up good idea for a thread

1996 Chevrolet Impala SS (sorry for the stock photo). This was my dad's dream car and I ended up "inheriting" it when he passed away. It had a 5.7L LT1 ('Vette engine) with 260-hp......way too much car for me at 17

Hmm... probably 1985 SAAB Turbo SPG...got it off of a college professor very cheap. Black with burgundy leather. DOHC 2.0 Turbo, easy to tweak and work on. Loved that car.

Quickly gaining favor with me is my 2003 Jaguar S Type R. Black on black, 24,000 miles. Supercharged, 400hp, 400lb-ft of torque. People either love the looks or hate them.
